So we just rapped our newest movie "Step Brothers" and we wanted to
check in with FOD about a bunch of stuff. First off, the shoot was
great. We had an insanely good cast. Kathryn Hahn is a stone cold
genius and Rob Riggle, Richard Jenkins, Mary Steenbergen and Adam
Scott were all so good it was unsettling. John C Reilly - aka The River
Dog - is in a class of his own: fantastic actor who's also one of the
funniest people you'll ever meet. Now it's on the edit room where it looks like our first cut could be
four hours long (no joke). So long as there's a good hundred minutes
in there we're happy.
We also want to give a belated thanks to the FOD team for shooting
several videos with us on set. Green Team, Apatow announcement and
like three others that haven't been posted yet were all shot in less
than an hour and on our schedule cause that's how Amy and her people
do it.
On a quick side point: Green Team is not making fun of the
environmental movement. We wanted a benign cause that was beyond much
reproach for the slow reveal that they're huge creeps and criminals.
We saw some comments along the lines of "way to stick it to the
enviro-nuts!!" I hate to break it to these people but it's not 1982
and the need for clean energy is the most real issue we're facing as a
species. So go back to thinking we're hippy tree huggers. Please.
We also wanted to encourage comics and sketch groups to set up their
home pages on FOD. Lot's of us industry jerks do look at them and it's
a good way to get your name and material out there.
Coming up soon:l Landlord approaches 50 million hits. We're trying to come up with something
cool for that... Any ideas for give aways or prizes or PR events?
To quote the last line of the movie Casino, "and that's that..."
